What is causing this error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversi

[prw8864]

I can not see what is causing this error....
iterator has been defined properly, but the error seems to point to the interator type.

Errors I get with g++ svector.c++ -o svector 2> ./err_txt
gcc version 4.3.2

svector.c++:38: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘SVector’
svector.c++:53: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘SVector’
svector.c++:63: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘SVector’
svector.c++:68: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘SVector’

You have used the type iterator as the return value. Your code does not define a type iterator at global scope but it does define a type SVector<T>::iterator, is that what you meant to use?

I am unsure but you could try declaring your iterator functions as: 'vector<T>::iterator SVector<T>::functionname(param)'. I just found myself in a similar situation. The typedef is not global so you probably would have to make the functions of type iterator into functions of type SVector<T>.
